Risk Overview
Risk is a digital adaptation of the turn based strategy board game, focused on global conquest. Players control a country and aim to defeat all others through military action.
Gameplay involves managing military forces, including drafting troops and moving armies across the map to attack or fortify territories. The outcome of conflicts is determined by player strategy rather than random dice rolls, shifting emphasis from luck to planning.
Multiple rule sets are available, including full and short versions for both UK and US styles. The short variants introduce specific victory conditions, such as completing a mission or attacking an enemy headquarters, to accelerate play and provide a challenging alternative to the standard conquest objective.
